Tom Moran is a Big Fat Filthy Disgusting Liar

4-8 July 2023

Tom, a man in his late 20s, stands against a purple background. He looks directly at the camera with his mouth open. In his mouth there is a “Love heart” sweet with the word LIAR printed across it.
Join Tom Moran in this hilariously honest true story as he seeks to exorcise ghosts, confess his deepest secrets and somehow un-f*ck his future.

What's the worst lie you've told? How bad was it? And how far would you go to keep it a secret?

Tom is a charismatic people-pleaser, an expert in empathy, but someone who struggles with the truth. Join him in this hilariously honest true story as he seeks to exorcise ghosts, confess his deepest secrets and somehow un-f*ck his future. As Tom begs the question, if I never lied again and was just myself, would any of my loved ones still love me?

Winner of the Fishamble New Writing Award.
